:00:23. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:26. > :00:28.With me are journalist Mina al-Oraibi and the
:00:29. > :00:31.Good to have you both with us. Let's begin with...
:00:32. > :00:33.The Commons Speaker John Bercow's opposition to President Trump
:00:34. > :00:36.addressing Parliament during his state visit to the UK,
:00:37. > :00:37.is one the top stories for the Telegraph..
:00:38. > :00:40.While the 'I' says 'Speaker silences Trump' on it's front page.
:00:41. > :00:42.The Guardian's take is that senior figures have accused
:00:43. > :00:47.The Times has a picture of the tight security for the Israeli Prime
:00:48. > :00:51.Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Downing Street.
:00:52. > :00:53.While the Metro leads with the death of Stefano Brizzi in prison,
:00:54. > :00:56.the man jailed for murdering a police officer and
:00:57. > :01:04.The FT says French bond prices have fallen to their lowest
:01:05. > :01:06.levels in 18 months, coming amid fears that
:01:07. > :01:11.a scandal surrounding the centre-right candidate
:01:12. > :01:13.for the Elysee Palace Francois Fillon paying family members
:01:14. > :01:15.for work they allegedly didn't do, could bolster populist candidates
:01:16. > :01:25.And finally, the Daily Express reports on a terminally
:01:26. > :01:28.ill man with cancer, being cured by a new wonder drug.
:01:29. > :01:41.Let's begin with one of today's big talking points. John, the Speaker 's
:01:42. > :01:45.bid to silence Trump. It is extraordinary. It is, not just him
:01:46. > :01:50.saying, I will not have this guy speaking in front of the Houses of
:01:51. > :01:57.Parliament, but it is because he is sexist, racist, and unfit to speak
:01:58. > :02:01.before MPs? It was outstanding, many people believe that the Speaker of
:02:02. > :02:04.the House of Commons is meant to be neutral in such matters, they are
:02:05. > :02:10.there to moderate the political debate. But apparently, he is saying
:02:11. > :02:15.no, I'm only neutral on domestic matters, not foreign affairs. This
:02:16. > :02:20.is foreign affairs. The language that he uses, he effectively said
:02:21. > :02:24.that Donald Trump is racist and sexist, and we, in this country,
:02:25. > :02:29.believe in an independent judiciary and liberty for all people and
:02:30. > :02:36.respect regardless of colour or creed, and stuck it to him, quite
:02:37. > :02:39.frankly. MPs applauded, they are not meant to, a huge round of applause
:02:40. > :02:47.from the SNP and a lot of Labour that benches, not so many on the
:02:48. > :02:56.Tory side... I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall that
:02:57. > :02:58.Number 10! In one of the other papers, the Parliamentary sketch
:02:59. > :03:03.writer for The Guardian newspaper, you said that he hates Theresa May,
:03:04. > :03:07.John Bercow, and there is no love lost between them, and Theresa May
:03:08. > :03:10.has always treated him like dirt? And I think this is his way of
:03:11. > :03:18.saying that, as Speaker committee gets a say on manner. -- he gets a
:03:19. > :03:21.say. This is not an automatic right, but an honour that must be earned,
:03:22. > :03:28.and someone like Donald Trump is an unfit for the honour. It comes with
:03:29. > :03:30.debate about the state visit. Definitely channelling a lot of
:03:31. > :03:40.anger that some people feel about this. President Shi of China, he
:03:41. > :03:46.locks people up in Chinese gulags. He does but does not claim to be
:03:47. > :03:49.leader of the free world and the special relationship... It is
:03:50. > :03:56.interesting. The Daily Telegraph repeated in their article about this
:03:57. > :04:00.special relationship. He's not the only person who can make this
:04:01. > :04:05.decision. Three people can but, having said that, he has effectively
:04:06. > :04:11.ruled it out. Clinton came here and made a speech in Westminster, so did
:04:12. > :04:15.Nelson Mandela. And Barack Obama. He has been around for longer than
:04:16. > :04:19.Trump, but I also heard today, on one of the channels that this notion
:04:20. > :04:25.of him speaking to Parliament, it has been mooted, when Mrs May went
:04:26. > :04:32.to the States, and word came back that it was not his kind of thing. I
:04:33. > :04:37.did not know if it was there. Let's move on. A story that we were
:04:38. > :04:43.talking about earlier on, Brexit, Donald Trump and the trials and
:04:44. > :04:49.tribulations of the NHS, they have tended to push a lot of news of the
:04:50. > :04:53.front pages in the last few weeks. Including Syria, and the front page
:04:54. > :05:00.of the Times newspaper seems to be back,
:05:01. > :05:09.Assad hangs opponents? Credit to the Times for covering this story,
:05:10. > :05:15.Amnesty International says that there is document had evidence that
:05:16. > :05:19.these prisoners have been killed. And they are referring to a military
:05:20. > :05:27.prison which is not warriors before the war started in 2011 and the
:05:28. > :05:30.uprising, if you went in it would be unlikely that you came out, or if
:05:31. > :05:36.you did it would be many years later with torture. It comes after a push
:05:37. > :05:41.for a renewed diplomatic effort, there have been talks in Geneva over
:05:42. > :05:45.the last couple of days, to put this on the table to remind people what
:05:46. > :05:51.the Assad regime is capable of, it is important as we go into these
:05:52. > :05:54.talks. Recently, there has been an effort to make it seem as though the
:05:55. > :06:00.regime and opposition are on an equal footing. While both sides have
:06:01. > :06:05.committed a crime, various sites, it is to say that by far, the Assad
:06:06. > :06:11.regime is responsible for them. And the killing of this kind, on this
:06:12. > :06:16.scale, and coming from Amnesty International, we assume that it is
:06:17. > :06:20.well sourced? Yes, and it comes at a time when the attempt to
:06:21. > :06:26.rehabilitate President Assad, or legitimise his rule, is gaining
:06:27. > :06:30.momentum. Donald Trump made overtures to the Russians, and we
:06:31. > :06:34.have the guy who was the frontrunner, we will talk about it
:06:35. > :06:39.later on, Francois Furlong, said that he would be willing to talk to
:06:40. > :06:45.the Russians and Boris Johnson has intimated that perhaps the price for
:06:46. > :06:50.peace is President Assad staying in power -- Francois Fillon. It reminds
:06:51. > :06:53.us to be careful? And it reminds us that a lot of these decisions are
:06:54. > :07:00.made at the top echelons of power. Some would argue saying that
:07:01. > :07:05.President Assad should be removed before any change in Syria
:07:06. > :07:09.happening, for five years ago, but to say even if he stays in power, or
:07:10. > :07:14.does not commit you have a security of power, where you've been involved
:07:15. > :07:19.in such worried atrocities committed cannot ignore them and keep them
:07:20. > :07:23.there. But everyone for Turkey to the USA are changing their tuned but
:07:24. > :07:27.in the end, if it stops the killing and this kind of massacre, then
:07:28. > :07:30.anything could be acceptable. It is difficult to believe that the person
:07:31. > :07:35.in charge of this is capable of turning a page but we will have two
:07:36. > :07:42.C. Staying with the Times newspaper, more homes for new buyers in housing
:07:43. > :07:44.plans. I was on duty here in the newsroom yesterday and there was a
:07:45. > :07:48.suggestion that the Conservative Party was moving away from the idea
:07:49. > :07:51.that everyone should own their own homes, and they would push the idea
:07:52. > :07:55.that renting was a good thing because you cannot get a decent
:07:56. > :07:58.house in this country, there are not enough of them around as people
:07:59. > :08:02.cannot afford them. Now, another housing plan? I would suggest
:08:03. > :08:09.respectively that you could have been on duty at any time over the
:08:10. > :08:14.last ten years and seen this headline! That was my reaction,
:08:15. > :08:18.we've heard it all before and the truth of the matter is, successive
:08:19. > :08:25.governments have been moment Bill in their efforts -- lamentable. The
:08:26. > :08:27.reason we are in this mess is because they have failed
:08:28. > :08:31.disastrously to get it off the ground. Credit where credit is due,
:08:32. > :08:40.they are having a crack, according to this press release now. Land will
:08:41. > :08:45.be earmarked to fix the broken housing market, that is their word,
:08:46. > :08:51.not mine, broken. And what it will apparently end is a system whereby
:08:52. > :08:56.local councils can determine themselves how many houses are
:08:57. > :09:00.built, and they have different criteria. We don't have a uniform
:09:01. > :09:11.plan across the country. And they want to revive the high Street, boy,
:09:12. > :09:15.does it need that? In my community, estate agents and coffee shops are
:09:16. > :09:23.the only shops left. Chicken shops and nail bars? Around my place! In
:09:24. > :09:32.my high Street, it's not disappeared but it has been diminished. If it
:09:33. > :09:38.works, but when? France, let's head over the Channel, Francois Fillon
:09:39. > :09:44.and his mistake. This was the centre-right politician who shoo-in
:09:45. > :09:48.to win in the Eliseu Palace to win the elections in April, a scandal
:09:49. > :09:53.concerning whether or not he was paying family members for work that
:09:54. > :09:58.they did not do. He has come back? Yes, he apologised but is still in
:09:59. > :10:04.the running. It appears that we are seeing French bonds reacting and
:10:05. > :10:11.people and traders are worried about getting predictions wrong in 2017
:10:12. > :10:18.again! You see them reacting more than they would ordinarily, almost
:10:19. > :10:22.compensating for a lack of judgment. We are seeing this, and it is
:10:23. > :10:32.interesting because of the scandal, talking about 900,000 euros. They
:10:33. > :10:37.said that he is taking it out and the uncertainty is that it helps the
:10:38. > :10:43.far right leader, Marine Le Pen, because she is pushing forward in a
:10:44. > :10:48.way that nobody expected. That is what they are scared of. They are
:10:49. > :10:53.scared that his staying actually hurts everybody else that is trying,
:10:54. > :10:58.at this moment, to be someone like Marie Le Pen who one year ago we did
:10:59. > :11:02.not take as a serious threat to reaching the Eliseu Palace but it
:11:03. > :11:09.seems it could happen. I'm not sure that many people would cry about
:11:10. > :11:12.traders losing their shares, but there you go! Ooh, I'm particularly
:11:13. > :11:19.worried about the millionaires in the city who might be losing stuff!
:11:20. > :11:24.That was a joke, by the way... John, you suggested to me that you were
:11:25. > :11:29.around for the coronation of the Queen? You are looking good on it, I
:11:30. > :11:35.have to say! I vividly remember the headmaster of my primary school near
:11:36. > :11:40.Huddersfield gathering us together and saying that the king had died.
:11:41. > :11:47.And he had died on this day all these years ago. I was five or six
:11:48. > :11:52.years old and my reaction was, OK, can we go and play now? Does that
:11:53. > :11:55.mean we have a day off? And I remembered the coronation, because
:11:56. > :11:59.like my parents and thousands of people in the UK at the time, they
:12:00. > :12:08.bought their television sets to see the coronation. The Sapphire true
:12:09. > :12:13.belief. It's the kind of thing that way, probably, will not see for a
:12:14. > :12:16.very, very, very long time -- the Sapphire Jubilee. You need to be
:12:17. > :12:29.came from a young age, or Queen,. I find it amazing that it is the
:12:30. > :12:35.day, as you say, that her father passed away. While she marks the
:12:36. > :12:39.day, it is interesting, as John was discussing with me earlier, that she
:12:40. > :12:44.always marks the day in private. Because there is a lot of reflection
:12:45. > :12:50.also about losing her father. Indeed, she was at Sandringham
:12:51. > :12:54.today. Congratulations to the Queen and to you guys, for joining us for
:12:55. > :12:58.The Papers. Many thanks for that. Do not forget
:12:59. > :13:02.that you can see the front pages of all of The Papers online on the BBC
:13:03. > :13:12.News website. It is their seven days a week. You can watch the programme
:13:13. > :13:14.later on BBC iPlayer. Thank you to all of you at home for
:13:15. > :13:17.watching. Goodbye.
